Microsoft [MSFT] is edging higher in premarket trading, up 0.3%, as the company prepares to report fiscal Q4 earnings after the bell.

Shares have risen 22.5% year to date and are hovering just below their all-time high of $518.29, reflecting optimism around the tech giant’s AI-driven growth strategy.

Analysts are expecting EPS of $3.35, up from $2.95 last year. Morgan Stanley reiterated a Buy rating and $530 target last week, citing strong cloud performance, accelerating demand for AI applications, and disciplined cost control as key positives.

Azure growth has reaccelerated, and broader adoption of Copilot and enterprise AI tools could give results an extra boost.

What also stands out is Microsoft's ability to balance investment and profitability. The company’s P/E ratio sits at 39.6, but investors are comfortable with the premium given the consistent execution and massive total addressable market in cloud, software, and AI infrastructure.

If Microsoft beats across the board as it did last quarter, it could reaffirm its leadership in the tech trade and lift sentiment across large-cap AI names. Investors will also be watching for commentary on operating margin trends and forward cloud momentum.

With MSFT shares just 1% below their record high, a strong print could send the stock into breakout territory. Keep it on your radar heading into the close.

VF Corp [VFC] is jumping over 18% in premarket trading after a better-than-feared Q1 that signaled early progress in the company’s transformation plan.

While revenue of $1.8 billion came in flat year over year, adjusted operating loss of $56 million was far narrower than guidance of up to $125 million. Gross margin improved 290 basis points, driven by cost discipline and improved mix.

Shares had been battered, down 42.4% year to date before the report, but management’s tone and outlook offered a reason to reassess.

Excluding underperforming Vans, total revenue rose 6%, with The North Face and Timberland continuing to post strong results. CEO Bracken Darrell, marking two years at the helm, said the company has “reset the table” and is now focused on reaccelerating growth.

Guidance for Q2 calls for a 2%–4% revenue decline, but operating income is expected to improve in a meaningful way. VF also reaffirmed its $0.09 dividend and emphasized debt reduction efforts, which have shaved $1.4 billion off the balance sheet compared to last year.

With shares trading at a forward P/E near 70 and still 57% off their 52-week high of $29.02, investors looking for a turnaround story may start to pay attention. If execution continues, VFC’s low base could offer long-term upside.

Market volatility, policy shifts, and economic tension are leaving many investors overwhelmed.

But buried under the chaos are clear signals of opportunity — if you know where to look.

LendingClub [LC] is surging around 24% in premarket trading after smashing Q2 estimates and guiding higher for the rest of the year. The digital lender posted earnings of $0.33 per share, more than double analyst expectations of $0.16.

Revenue climbed to $248.4 million, also well ahead of the $227.5 million forecast, driven by a 32% year-over-year jump in loan originations to $2.4 billion.

Despite being down 18.7% year to date heading into the report, LC shares are rebounding hard on renewed investor confidence. Management cited strong product engagement and new partnerships as key contributors to the quarter’s growth.

The company also delivered a return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) near 12%, reflecting a meaningful step forward on profitability.

For Q3, LendingClub expects originations to rise to $2.5–$2.6 billion and pre-provision net revenue between $90–$100 million. Executives reaffirmed a long-term ROTCE target of 11.5% and signaled continued investment in marketing and product expansion.

While macro headwinds and regulatory risks still loom, the company’s tech-first lending model and healthy liquidity, bolstered by a 3.97 current ratio, give it an edge in navigating volatility.

LC’s sharp premarket move suggests momentum could extend into the session, especially as short interest remains elevated. With a forward P/E of ~29 and upside to its 52-week high of $18.75, LendingClub could be regaining its upward trajectory.

Qorvo builds RF systems used in smartphones, base stations, and defense applications. It counts Apple among its major clients and is gaining traction in 5G infrastructure.

Shares surged almost 10% premarket after Q2 results crushed estimates. Adjusted EPS of $0.92 beat the $0.60 forecast, and revenue of $818.8 million topped consensus by $43 million. While sales declined 7.7% year-over-year, margins held firm, and the company has now beaten earnings four quarters in a row. Seasonal demand and Apple’s upcoming iPhone cycle could provide further upside.

AtriCure develops surgical solutions for atrial fibrillation, post-op pain, and appendage management. Its flagship products include AtriClip and cryoSPHERE.

The stock jumped 10%+ in early trade after Q2 revenue rose 17% to $136.1 million and EBITDA nearly doubled. International sales jumped 23%, and management raised full-year guidance while highlighting strong adoption of new products. Completion of the LeAAPS trial also sets the stage for meaningful expansion in its treatment portfolio.

FTAI Aviation leases and services aircraft engines, with a focus on commercial narrowbody fleets. Its integrated model supports margin expansion.

Shares gained around 7% premarket after Q2 EPS of $1.57 beat by $0.28 and revenue smashed forecasts at $676 million. Demand for engines and parts remains strong as global travel rebounds, and FTAI’s dividend adds income appeal on top of growth.
